Viral Job

Willem Dafoe was recently asked what he does for a living in a viral TikTok video. The clip shows a TikToker named Khan complimenting Dafoe on his outfit before asking about his occupation. “I’m an actor,” Dafoe responds.

When Khan asks further, “Really? What’s your name?” Dafoe simply replies, “Yeah, Willem.” The social media influencer then inquires what Dafoe loves about his job. “It’s always different.

Nothing’s ever the same,” the actor answers.

Willem Dafoe’s spontaneous encounter

Khan also asks if Dafoe has any advice for aspiring actors.

“I don’t give advice,” Dafoe states. “No, everybody’s got to find their own … Just, uh, enjoy.”

It’s unclear if the TikToker, who has gained fame from his man-on-the-street job interviews, recognized the veteran actor or just got lucky running into him. Khan had a similar brief encounter with Adam Sandler in September 2024, but Sandler didn’t have time to chat.

The video has gone viral, with many people finding it hard to believe that Zadran didn’t recognize Dafoe and his distinctive look. Some viewers wondered if the interaction was pre-planned, but Dafoe’s polite yet hurried demeanor led others to conclude it was a spontaneous encounter. Despite the occasional challenges of fame, Dafoe continues to enjoy a prolific and diverse career, capturing the admiration of audiences worldwide.

The four-time Oscar nominee has over 150 screen credits to his name, including roles in blockbusters like “Spider-Man” and critically acclaimed films such as “The Lighthouse.”
